Call of Duty: Black Ops

You'd think it'd be less than $20 due to the other stuff the Hardened edition includes, but who knows.

 

[American Gunner]

Well, I hope it's 5-10 dollars, but wouldn't be shocked if they price it at $15.

 

[Kabob]

If not $20, $15 would be my guess.

 

[GrantMeThePower]

Well, Kabob, i dont mind switching my preorder if you would like. I have a paypal account so thats easy.

 

[JoPh]

[Zargon]

The zombie mode of World at War will return[25] as a four-player online and two-player split screen co-op mode in which players take the roles of John F. Kennedy, Richard Nixon, Robert McNamara, and Fidel Castro as they fight zombies at the Pentagon.[26] [27] Limited editions of the game will offer four zombies maps from World at War.[28]

im all about the new content not the old maps.

 

[fbrdphreak]

I'll wait for the WAW zombie maps to hit DLC. I have too many games to play as it is!

 

[BD2003]

Almost got it today, but the bastards didn't hold one for me until I get out of work. Still, tomorrow is looking very hopeful. I hear the MP isn't up yet on live though, so no huge loss.

No commando pro lol, thanks for the link :thumbsup:

I can't wait, i can feel it, it's going to be EPIC.

Why wait then? It isnt terribly hard to find a disc before release for a small premium, if any. Theyre already all over the place, but its still rather difficult to find someone who isnt absolutely gouging on the price just yet.

It is going to be absolutely epic though. So fucking excited. I really hope my sources stop dicking around and come through tomorrow!

Lol, i don't know if i would pay "extra", and considering the epicness of the release lol, that "extra" might be VERY "extra". I can wait, BC2 has me a little bit hooked again, but damn it, i was watching some of the gameplay trailers yesterday...freakin awesome lol.

I *really* like how they slotted the perks... and Commando died. GOD DAMN I'm glad that !@#$ perk is gone. No more asshats running around with Marathon, Lightweight, and Energy Sword.

 

[Kabob]

Pfft, forget Commando, I'm glad Danger Close is absent. WAY more abused than Commando was!

 

[BD2003]

I'm glad stopping power is gone more than anything else. It was such a dominant perk that you always put yourself at a major disadvantage in every single firefight by not using it. Now theres actually a reason to use the other perks in that tier.

Generally it's a $20 premium, and the math is easy to me. Would I pay $20 to have black ops 5 days early? Hell yes. Most are asking for a $40-60 premium right now and that's a bit much, but as soon as someone puts the game in front of me I might buckle. I already get so much value for my dollar out of a CoD game that I'm hardly complaining about the price.

I don't know about all this epic shit. It's MW2 warmed over and improved. Leftovers in the microwave, no matter how good they were when fresh, are not epic

Dell has updated their deal to $64.99 with a 3 month Live card and free overnight shipping. Whoopdedoo

I'm with you, I don't think it's going to have the same epic feel that CoD 4/MW2 had but I do think it'll be pretty good. Having watched a bunch of the videos though I don't see the same level of polish that was present on the IW games. I feel almost like they're sacrificing quality for quantity, as there is a TON of new stuff in the game.

MW2 did not have an epic feel. COD4 was epic. MW2 was over-the-top, overdone, and over-produced chaos. Treyarch seems to have reined in the design and taken a more deliberate, calculated approach to formulating the perks. From what I've seen of the maps so far, it seems they're getting similar treatment, which is good.

Using the word "epic" for the 7th iteration of a series isn't practical to begin with. Will this game be epic? Not unless it can wow consumers the same way COD4 did. However, what it *will* be, I believe, is extremely fine-tuned. COD4 was fine-tuned. MW2 was a Bugatti engine jammed into a Mercedes. I want my Mercedes - with its Mercedes engine - BACK.

I'm glad stopping power is gone more than anything else. It was such a dominant perk that you always put yourself at a major disadvantage in every single firefight by not using it. Now theres actually a reason to use the other perks in that tier.

Exactly. After doing a little dance over Commando's corpse, I was delighted to see the absence of Stopping Power. SP in some games was almost a mandatory perk, which meant you really couldn't enjoy experimenting with the other perks because of balance issues.

I'm very interested in seeing how good the game is. It will easily sell millions of copies, but aside from that I want to see if Treyarch really did something right this time... There seems to be an insane amount of hype for this and I just can't see why... yet.

 

[JoPh]

i still loved the end of the airplane level in mw2. surprised the hell out me. very memorable level.
